Current status and clinical trials of laparoendoscopic single-site colorectal surgery / 南方医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

The authors summarize the current techniques of laparoendoscopic single-site colorectal surgery in light of choice of abdominal incisions, single-site platform and instrument. System analysis suggests that laparoendoscopic single-site colorectal surgery is safe and feasible, and its short term result is similar to that of conventional laparoscopy. However, further trials are needed to investigate its potential benefits and long-term oncologic outcomes.
